C.A.Nassenstein Lisbon, 26 July 1944. Minlsteramt J.: 11. AUG. 1944 Dry ong! bef Lieber Robert. / bo l e I thank you for receiving your letter from ll.7.44 and at the same time for receiving the RM 600,---in foreign currency from the Ministry, which will be used for the intended purpose, the procurement of Czech emigrant literature. The work of Tomaš Čapek, published in the USA, is commissioned; according to the current transport possibilities, procurement is likely to be a bit lengthy. It is not only the connection between the "new" and the "old" world that is long, but rather the development in France, especially the path from here to there. I would ask you to take this into account in case of possible delays. Otherwise everything is in order here and despite the current political and military failures everything is with best hope. I remain with comradely greetings and Stata. Heil Hitler! vern beil. P.S. With the same post I send again 26 Czech emigrant newspapers. St. M.B -15£/44
